Why EMV?

The microchip adds a new level of security, protecting sensitive cardholder information. During a payment transaction, the embedded microchip works in concert with an EMV-enabled terminal to complete the transaction.

Provide more secure credit card transactions

Helps prevent counterfeit, lost or stolen cards, and reduces skimming at the point of sale.

Traditional credit and debit cards are prime targets for fraud because they store data that doesn't change. With EMV cards, this data changes each time the card is used.

Support contact, contactless, and mobile payments

Thanks to EMV supported terminals, your customers have additional ways of paying you, including through their smartphones.

Deploying EMV-capable terminals helps you accept emerging forms of mobile payment and potentially capture a greater share of the growing millennial market—the customers of the future.

Reduce chargebacks

Businesses that don’t have equipment able to process EMV-enabled debit and credit cards are financially liable for chargebacks.

Stronger cardholder verification decreases chargebacks, giving you more time to run your business and more income security.
